HEARINGS
The CONTINUED HEAR I NG ON THE 1911 ACT IMPROVEMENT OF 17TH ST. WESTERLY
OF NEWELL, ASSESSMENT DISTRICT NO. 180 (Hearing on the Resolution of
Intention) was held at this time. City Clerk Campbell stated a
communication from Edward M. Kops, owner of property, 1935-1937 E.
17th St., stating that he is in accord with the improvement but
feels that sidewalks should be included and that the City should
finance 50% of the cost of the additional improvement was received.
City Clerk Campbell stated a protest petition and the Affidavits
of publication, posting & mailing were presented at the Nov. 14
meeting, ASSOC. CITY ENG. ONLEY stated the Council directed the
City Engineer's Department to determine the percentage of property
owners protesting and he would like to add two items to it: last
week we determined we had a protest of 19% for the area; the per-
centage of the owners who protested the 1911 Act is 42.85% (there
were 14 owners, 6 protesting); the frontage protest is 28,68%.
There was discussion. Moved by Morgan that we go ahead and continue
this hearing,. City Attorney McLean advised the Mayor that he was
not at the last meeting and unless he has read the minutes of the
hearing he should not take action. There was discussion in regard
to damage to 17th Street by heavy equipment used in building
apartments as well as 18th Street overpass; whether or not developer,,
as opposed to single residence owners; were being assessed their
fair share of the total assessment; whether or not the 1911 Act
petition was circulated to benefit the developers; and the possi-
bility of the property owners installing their own curbs, gutters
and sidewalks with the City paving the roadway with 2" of asphalt.
Mr, Onley stated Mr. Hoffland, Assist. City Eng. reminded him to
remind them that the apartment owner who owns 42% of the area also
pays 42% of the paving of the street; everybody pays for their own
curbs, gutters, and sidewalk; this large property is still paying
42% of the pavement. GENE ROSS, 1926 E. 17th Street was present
and said some of these gentlemen who signed the petition fob' the
improvement are developers and there are only 6 people on tle
petition asking for a 1911 Act; and you have 6 property owners on
the protest petition; that's certainly not 74% in favor; sidewalks
are not included; the only thing they are going to get are curbs and
gutters; the people from his house on down are not getting even the
11/21/72
88
street because the State put the Cul-de-sac in there, Mr, Ross
asked Mr, Onley to identify the property owned by each one of
these people on the petition; it looks to him that there might
be a duplication; because it says Mr, Beauchamp has 331' which
takes care of the south side of the street; then you get on the
other side of the street and you have 75'/ for Mr. Thomas; we
know where the Yahnkes live, but who is Houghton and Starfire
Homes; each one of these is developers; no individual owner is
asking for this; the developers can get their money back from the
renters and so on; we have no way of getting it back except out
of our pockets, There was discussion. Mayor Morgan said he doesn't
like to see these people come back down here, but he would sure like
to have this continued another week at 8:00 so possibly he can go
out and take a look at this, Councilman Waters asked what percentage
do the developers own in relation to the people on that street living
right now Mr. Onley went to the map to do some figuring. Mr. Onley
said he couldn't calculate it into percentage without his calculator;
we should be talking about area you get into a wild area when you
start talking about frontage, and about property owners as having
one voting right on a 1911 Act; the State law is on area; we're to
talk about sq, footage and nothing else, MARY FREEMAN, 1912 E. 17th
Street, was present and said she was under the impression that 17th
Street from Palm down as far as it is paved is a temporary street,
and they are being asked to put in a . . . There was further discussion.
MR. FREEMAN, 1912 E. 17th Street, was present and said he has lived
on 17th Street for nine years, ! , we were satisfied until Mr,
Beauchamp started building his apartments; he tore up the whole
road with heavy construction equipment, Mr. Freeman said he has
50 ft of property and you want $687 to do it plus it could cost
another 10%; $687 for 501% There was further discussion. Moved
by Camacho, seconded by Reid, we table this until next week till
he Ma o ets a ood look at what we are discussin here toni ht
end give us all a chance to go own and look at it again, Carried
y unanimous vote.
The HEARING ON PROPOSED AMENDMENT A0.12-72 TO AMEND ORDINANCE NO.
962 AND THE MUNICIPAL CODE FOR THE PURPOSE OF UPDATING, CONSOLI-
DATING AND CODIFYING ALL OF THE CITY''S LAND USE AND ZONING REGULA-
TIONS, IN PARTICULAR CHAPTER 95, AUTHORITY AND PURPOSE, AND CHAPTER
96, ZONING MAP was held at this time. City Clerk Campbell stated
the Certificate of Publication was on file and the Planning Depart-
ment transmittal stating the Planning Commission recommends approval
of Chapters 95 and 96 was attached to the agenda. Planning Dir.
Gerschler said the Zoning Code update project is divided into five
parts which are being treated as chapters; the two chapters before
Council: Chapter 95 deals with Authority for zoning which is a
reflection of the State code on the matters it deals with definitions
of terms using the definitions and terms you now have in your present
Code; Chapter 96 describes the Zoning Maps, again relying on the
language of the Government Code, it tells us what the zoning map
looks like, how it is divided into parts for uses how it is main-
tained and so on; there are no substantial changes in 95 and 96;
these are all procedural matters, Mr. Gerschler continued that
the Planning Commission will be having hearings on Chapters 97 and
98, the two remaining chapters, within the next sixty days and you
will then be having hearings on those; for that reason we suggested
that if the matter before you tonight, Chapters 95 and 96, meets
with your approval, that you accept them but delay formal adoption
until we have all five chapters together sometime after the first
of the year,* No one was present in this regard. Moved by Waters,
seconded by Pinson, the ubli . hearin be closed the ro osed
amendment A. 12..72 to Ord. 962 and the Municipal Code and all
stipulations of staff be approved. Carried by unanimous vote,

PROGRAM FOR ORDERLY COMPLETION AND ADOPTION OF THE OPEN SPACE
PLAN BY JUNE 30, INCLUDING DESCRIPTION OF THE METHODS BY WHICH
OPEN SPACE RESOURCES WILL BE INVENTORIED AND CONSERVATION MEASURES
DETERMINED was held at this time. City Clerk Campbell stated the
Certificate of Publication was on file and the Planning Department
transmittal stating the Planning Commission recommends approval to
satisfy State law pending future adoption of an Open Space Plan was
attached to the agenda. Planning Director Gerschler said the State
legislature in its last session adopted requirements that all cities
shall prepare open space plans; and goes on to say that the plan
shall be completed by June 30, 1973; it also provides that on
January 1,, 1973, the City shall have in effect an interim open
s as a p; you received a report from the Legislative Counsel of
tfe7ta�ilarornia Cities approximately six weeks ago reminding all
cities that if they did not proceed to adopt an interim open
space plan, their ability to issue building permits for any kind
of project might be in jeopardy; what you have before you tonight
is their proposed plan, consisting of two parts: (1) A statement
of goals and objectives, and (2) A program for the completion and
adoption of the formal plan; attached to the proposed plan is an
appendix list of possible specific open space opportunities in
National City; adoption of the interim open space plan if adopted
tonight will satisfy the immediate requirement of State law
and the staff is preparing and will have ready for you for a
public hearing, an open space outlook before the deadline of
June 30, 1973. There was discussion, No one was present in
this regard. Moved by Camacho, seconded by Reid, the hearing.

as recommended h the Plannin Commission. Carried by unanimous
vote.
The HEARING ON PROPOSED ZONE CHANGE ZC-106•72 AN) AMENDMENT TO THE
GENERAL, PLAN TO ACHIEVE COMPLIANCE WITH GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION
65860 TO REZONE FROM TC-PD, TOURIST COMMERCIAL PLANNED DEVELOPMENT,
TO R-1, SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE, R-2, TWO-FAMILY RESIDENCE, ON R-4M-PD,
MULTIPLE FAMILY PLANNED DEVELOPMENT, THE PROPERTIES AT 2411, 2405,
2415, 2435 AND 2501 E. 13th ST. AND TO AMEND THE GENERAL PLAN TO
DESIGNATE FOR COMMERCIAL USE PROPERTIES ZONED COMMERCIAL was held
at this time. City Clerk Campbell stated the Certificate of
Publication was on file and the Planning Department transmittal
stating the Planning Commission recommended rezoning to an R- 2,
2-Family Residence Zone, and to amend the General Plan to designate
it as such was attached to the agenda. Planning Director Gerschler
said in this case the General Plan shows high density residential
for all of these lots; the Zoning Map showed TC-PD Commercial for
all of these lots; the Commercial and Residential being incompatible;
either one of two would have to be amended in order to comply with
the AB 1301; the Planning Commission had more than one hearing on
this; they heard from a number of property owners in the neighbor-
hood and on . the basis of their recommendations„ the recommendations
of the property owners, and in attempting to accomplish what they
were asking for the Commission divided their recommendation; they
are recommending that the lots on 13th St, up on the top of the
hill, which are located on a residential street be made Zone R- 2/
this is what the property owners seemed to prefer by consensus;
the Planning Commission is recommending all of the property to face
on Plaze Blvd. at the base of the hill that remain TC-PD Commercial
and that the General Plan be amended to show Commercial use on that
TC-PD property. Mr. Gerschler pointed out there is one lot (Mr.
Roger is lot at 2339 or 37) has frontage on both Plaza Blvd. and
13th St.; the Planning Commission's action would leave all of
Mr. Rogeris property in the TC-PD zone; this seemed to be compliance
with what he preferred; he thinks the Commission answered the requests
of the property owners in this manner. No one was present in this
11/21/72

regard. Moved by Pinson, seconded by Camacho, the public hearing
be closed and that the proposed Zone Change ZC-10.72 be approved
that on the TC,,FD 13th Ste be redesignated as R.2 and the Plaza
Blvd, property be rezoned to stay in the commercial property all
except Mr. Roger's property and it stay in the commercial zoning
from Plaza to 13th. There was discussion, Mr. Gerschler stated
the use of the property isn't involved in AB 1301; strangly enough
only the zoning and the General Plan are involved in AB 1301;
frankly, it is possibly a flaw on the State legislation and is out
of our hands; the State told us in AB 1301, we have to make the
zoning and the General Plan compatible. Now use becomes an
important thing when you look at what the appropriate zoning is.
There was further discussion, Moved by Morgan, seconded by Waters,
this on motibeab
tled for one week. Carried by unanimous vote.
The HEARING ON PROPOSED ZONE CHANGE ZC-15-.72 AND AMENDMENT TO THE
GENERAL PLAN TO ACHIEVE COMPLIANCE WITH GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION
65860, MORE SPECIFICALLY TO REZONE FROM C-2, LIMITED COMMERCIAL,
TO R-4, MULTIPLE FAMILY RESIDENCE, THE PROPERTY ON THE WESTERLY
SIDE OF PALM AVE. FROM APPROXIMATELY 200 FT. NORTHERLY OF 4TH ST.
TO 1ST ST. AND TO AMEND THE GENERAL PLAN TO DESIGNATE FOR COMMERCIAL
USE THE PROPERTIES ZONED COMMERCIAL was held at this time. City
Clerk Campbell stated the Certificate of Publication was on file
and the Planning Department transmittal stating the Planning
Commission recommends the C-2 zoning remain unchanged and the
General Plan be amended to designate the commercially zoned property
as Retail, Personal Services and Repair on the General Plan Map was
attached to the agenda. (City Attorney McLean left Council Chambers
at 9:01 p.m.) Planning Director Gerschler stated this property is
on the west side of Palm north of 4th; in this case, the General
Plan shows high density/medium high density residential and the
zoning C-2; the Planning Commission found in this case(the first
example where they couldn't satisfy all of the property owners)
some of the property owners in this block seemed to want Commercial
zoningand some of the property owners wanted residential zoning;
there is one apartment at the northerly end of this strip, one
fairly new apartment at the northerly end of the strip; and one of
the property owners speaking at the Planning Commission hearing
indicated he wanted to build apartments on parcel #20 on the reap
which is the third parcel on 4th St.; the Planning Commission
considered these requests, and after considerable study, felt that
the commercial zoning was the best for the entire stripnotwith-
standing the wishes of those particular property owners; on that
basis they recommended to you, that this zoning remain C-2 and
that the General Plan be amended to comply. There was discussion.
(City Attorney McLean returned to Council Chambers at 9:03 p.m.)
Mr. Gerschler outlined his staff recommendation to the Planning
Commission which was not the same as the Planning Commission's
recommendation to Council: the Commission recognized the two lots
at the very northerly end of Palm are developed for a modern very
substantial apartment house; we felt that that should be R-4 zone;
(City Attorney McLean left Council Chambers at 9:06 p.m.) he trusts
the Commission, unless they hear something from the property owners
the Council will rely on the Planning Commission recommendation,, (City Attorney McLean returned to Council Chambers at 9:08 p.m.) There was further discussion. No one was present in this regard.
Moved by Camacho, seconded by Pinson, this hearing be closed and
that proposed Zone Change ZC_15--72 and amendments to the General

1810 "J" Ave.)" was attached to the agenda, Planning Director
Gerschler stated in this case, there was more public participation
at the hearings than any other of the cases we have had so far;
all of this property was in the C-2 zone; also, shown on the
General Plan as high/density residential; so the whole strip
from "I" Ave. to "N" Ave, had to be looked at; the Commission
held a hearing on the entire strip and this was the first case
that responded to the City Council's directive that we only
rezone the existing apartment houses; the recommendation comes
from the Planning Commission that all of those lots that have
apartment houses be zoned R..4 and all the other lots remain
C..2; the General Plan would be amended to accommodate that
suggestion; as far as he knows it has met all of the objections
of all of the property owners. There was discussion. No one
